Chin Augmentation Made Huge Difference
I had chin augmentation with Dr Kim at SK Plastic Surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very first consultation, Dr. Kim was thoughtful, patient, and incredibly detail-oriented. He took the time to understand my goals, explained the procedure clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the staff was warm, professional, and attentive throughout the entire process. My recovery was

Could Not Be Happier.
I have been going to this practice for over 10 years for botox and fillers. First came here through my sister who had her eyes done here. I felt comfortable with Dr Kim. He doesn't push procedures but is very open to give his opening when you ask. I noticed over the years that one side of my eyelids was coming down more than the other. It made it difficult to put eye makeup especially eyeline and it would smudge. Dr Steve Kim evaluated my eyes and he quickly figured out

Happy with my Facelift
I had a facelift and necklift and upper eyelid surgery with Dr Steve Kim in Beverly Hills. A friend of mine had it done two months ahead of me. We both saw Caroline Stanbury from Real Housewives of Dubai and Catt Sadler's results and were just amazed. It has been six months and I absolutely love my results. I had a lot of skin on my neck and my skin on the lower part of my cheeks and jaw were plain unsightly. Dr. Kim did a great job of explaining the procedure and guiding me
It has been a year so now I can confidently write a review about my surgery results and experience. First of all Dr Kim is a very genuine person. He never pushes you or tries to have you do procedures you don't need. I felt he really was looking out for me. The girls in the office are most of the time nice, friendly and helpful. It does get busy there sometimes and you have to wait...it's not easy being one of the top korean plastic surgeons in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. About

Best Asian Plastic Surgeon in LA, CA, US!
I've been to all the known plastic surgeons in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. OK not all, but to a lot of them. I wanted to do my eyelids (yes I am asian and have monolids) and my nose (yes my nose is kinda on the low side and the tip slightly wide). Dr. Kim was the only surgeon who seemed like he knew what I wanted. In the Asian community, Dr Steve Kim is really really popular. I actually heard about his clinic from two friends, my nail girl and my aunt's friend. Well, it's

Best EDUCATION During CONSULTANT
ORIGINAL YELP REVIEW POSTED 2/3/21: This review is at 5 days Post-Op Breast Revision. First, let me say Dr. Kim and his staff are 10/10. During my consultation, Dr. Kim took his time listening to me, educated me and also gave me many options. He was very calm, extremely attentive and was very clear, ''you do not have to make a decision right now." he was not pushy at all. He made sure to explain very thoroughly, silicone vs. saline implants and also explained the process of pocket

Best doctor out there! He makes you look as natural as possible
Best doctor out there! Dr. Steve Kim is the one and only doctor I will ever trust. He not only is a very very talented and knowledgeable doctor but is also a very nice, caring, and a genuine person. I’ve been going to him for as long as I’ve been in LA now. He makes sure that nothing is too much. As opposed to other doctors who will let you get as much Botox as you want just for the money, regardless of what it might look like.He makes you look as natural as possible
Honest, ethical doctor - stunning results, my eyelids look so natural
Stunning results my eyelids look so natural. Trustworthy doctor thats honest with feedback & doesn’t sugarcoat things. Would highly recommend! The healing was a fun process surprisingly as I was pumped to see the final results.
Love my results!
Had eyes and nose done by Dr Kim. So far love the results. He takes his time and really explains everything. Felt really comfortable with Dr Kim and his staff. I knew he would do a great job as a couple of my friends who went to him first really loved their results. He is the IT doctor in the Korean community.

421cc Silicone. A to C 5'9" .145 Lbs. AA - Los Angeles, CA
I went back and forth on having this procedure for about 7 years. Finally got the courage to do it. I'm happy I did it. I wish I'd done a little more research on choosing a size as I now feel like I should have gone up about 25-50 more cc. But overall I am happy. It's been a little over 5 weeks and I'm happy to be able to stretch my arms and hold myself up , etc. Now it's all about Palmers stretch mark concentrated cream and DermaE scar gel. No stretch marks yet. And of course
